Most of my custom's are not stainless but they are easy to maintain and keep from rusting. Much easier than a gun that's not stainless. Just a little rem oil every now and then. I use them to clean a lot of animals and wash with soap and water. Dry off with paper towel and a little oil and they never show any rust.

That is a beauty. Doesn't D2 steel require regular maint. and oiling to keep from rusting? If this is a low maint. blade I will be interested.

D2 is a high carbon tool steel so it can stain or rust, but even stainless steels can under the right circumstances. D2 is considered "almost stainless" or "semi stainless" its a lot easier to care for than most tool steels but not as easy as some stainless steels. I have no problems with mine on any hunting activities and just wiping it off on my pants or shirt...lol.

This knife is back around for sale, I had a deal on it but no payment and its been close to 3 weeks.
